Use some common sense. How can one expect Turkey to steamroll with a limited ground and air support approach? You can only say this when Turkey enters war with isis, pkk, Syria and Irak without limitations (politics, without much care for citizens etc.). Syria and Iraq, with all its military assets, have proven to be unable to capture large territory. Your (populastic) view that this operation represents Turkish armed forces' whole capability is wrong, and no one said there won't be casualties. What some chest beating folks say doesn't reflect the truth.Didn't you all say how the TAF is vastly superior to any other regional force and that they would steam roll YPG, isis, iraq, syria? Of course countries that aren't actively at war believe it's easy until they do it, bad performance yes, nothing special.
Not comparable, Turkey has not gone through what Iraq went through, several wars that is. Turkey was also not attacked by any large force.

No one knows the future of anything, point is it turned out bad for Turkey, and Jordan as well.
Yes, Turkey can still steamroll Iraq and Syria one vs one or even one vs two in a full blown war. Both countries have inferior equipment, inferior number of equipment, relatively no significant defense industry (that i know) compared to ours to last a long war to say the least.
